You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in my god or you go to hell.

The heavens raped from our misuse of love.

No one knows what god thinks of anything. He only knows and no one can claim to penetrate into his mysteries. Those who do that are liars and must be avoided at all costs.

Why doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away? Religious leaders know that all religions are equal; they know that no one of them has the monopoly to the knowledge of God. They know that each religion is trying to find the hidden God and that no one religion can claim to have found him beyond doubt. That's why they remain where they are and respect each other.

Clouds are just nature's stepping stones to the heavens.

If you are poor and go without food and clothes, don't hope for wealth in paradise, you are already forsaken.

Endeavor to create heaven on earth and turn your heart into the new Jerusalem.

When we turn to the heavens to look for inspiration, we miss the most important piece, and that is the person right there next to us.

You take away my golden dreams and my visions of paradise, in its place you wake me up and hand me your reasons and facts and crude reality. You have ruined my life. If I commit murder or hang myself, let the god I used to pray to repay you in full.

The best way to earn paradise in the afterlife is to create it in your life and in the life of your neighbor.
